Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: Burn clients do not need prophylactic antimycobacterial agents.
Rationale 2: Trauma clients do not need prophylactic antimycobacterial agents.
Rationale 3: HIV/AIDS clients are often prescribed prophylactic antimycobacterial agents.
Rationale 4: Pregnant clients do not need prophylactic antimycobacterial agents.
Global Rationale: HIV-AIDS or those who are receiving immunosuppressant drugs, may also receive preventive treatment with antimycobacterials. A short-term therapy of 2 months, consisting of combination therapy with isoniazid (INH) and pyrazinamide, is approved for TB prophylaxis in HIV-positive patients. Prophylactic treatment is not indicated for the remaining clients.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Potassium does not cause adverse effects with dapsone.
Rationale 2: Aspirin does not cause adverse effects with dapsone.
Rationale 3: Viagra does not cause adverse effects with dapsone.
Rationale 4: St. John's wort can decrease levels of dapsone.
Global Rationale: Dapsone levels may be decreased by St. John's wort. The other drugs do not have a listed drugdrug interaction with dapsone.
